A well reasoned solution. |

A splendid article, and for me a timely one as I was pondering a similar conundrum. You've solved the problem for me. |

I solved the gap problem by using 3/4" washers and making different sabots for open and close order. Sabots still beat multi basing when it comes to speeding up play. I still use multi basing for 15mm |
